Knee-deep in the Olsen twins.

I saw this. I don't think Prince is trying to stand up for any little man, he's trying to destroy the record industry. And good for him! If the concept takes hold that music has no monetary value, but is something that adds value to everything it comes with, then you'll see lots of free music given ...

Particularily with the part that I'm trying my hardest to forget that Chris Benoit ever existed, because thats all he deserves now. I think that's a poor strategy by which to handle tragedies like this. Every good man has a monster inside of him; every human monster has a pure and virtuous part. If...

You've heard of fireballs, right? That's what happens when a meteorite dives into the atmosphere and burns up, and in its final moment it explodes. Usually the explosion is in the upper atmosphere, so it's an airburst that does nothing more than give a pretty light show. Fireballs are fairly common,...

I chose music, because I took it as a poll of 'what would you like to have as a gift?'. I can do art and writing, so I'd like some music please. :)

Americans are more likely to get outraged at something "blasphemous" on TV (usually related to either Sex, Homosexuality, or Abortion), then pictures of small children who are injured because of a friendly fire incident. that's my take on it, anyways. You're mistaken. American *Media* gets outraged...

You know, it'd kind of be nice to actually have a representative democracy. And the problem with America today is the very large disconnect between 'It would be nice to have this...' and 'I'm going to start FUCKING SHOOTING until I GET IT.' ;) We're just too comfortable.

Sounds good to me, although I don't understand his insistence that a constitutional convention would fix anything.

Someone I saw on LiveJournal gave what I thought was the perfect description of America these days when they said, "My mental guillotine thirsts".

I think I've finally figured out my back. Sitting hurts my lumbar spine. Walking hurts my bursitis. And laying down hurts my thoracic spine.
